Chateau Tour Des Gendres A wonderful character and a fine wine-maker, Luc de Conti's exhuberant wines reflect his personality. Luc is a true Vinarchiste, looking for purity and intensity, the maximum expression of the potential of the grapes. In the vineyard the soil is nourished with seeweed and silica treatments to encourage microbial activity. According to him the soil is lifeless ("a cadaver") and it is a fifteen year process to rid the ground of pollutants. Manual picking and selection of ripe grapes is essential, on top cuvees there are several tries nin the vineyard, and the wine will only be released if it reaches the highest of standards. The blends will also change according to the physiological ripeness of the grapes. This vigneron even riddles the grapes on the vines, giving them a quater turn. Luc has 52 hectares of vineyards in the appellation of Bergerac, practising organic farming since 1994, AGROCERT certified since 2005.
